Behavioural Objectives in Training for Adult Education.

Robinson, J. Jeffrey; Taylor, Dorothy

International Journal of Lifelong Education, v2 n4 p355-69 1983

The authors of this paper suggest that the increasing use of behavioral objectives in adult education is a symptom of a threatening economic and political climate; that behavioral objectives are incompatible with any new paradigm, any "new way of seeing," as represented by theories of andragogy and the concept of recurrent education.
